Re: Gross Motor Skills Delay caused by tort/plagio? ann

ann,

That's great that the PT works for EI! You know you'll be in good

hands! too hated tummy time. The EI people who came here had

heard of the DOCband but never actually seen it. I showed them

pictures of it. You can ask Charlotte if your doing the tort

exercises right. I'm going to print pictures off of a web site that

told me about,(tort exer.)and bring it in to Charlotte (at her

request) for her to go over them with me. It's been so long since

I've had to do them, that I forgot them!

I think I waited 2 weeks for an appointment. An EI worker came first

and asked a lot of questions. She then called the EI office and made

an appt. for the PT and the Sp.Ed. teacher to come here. That took

one week. They're coming back (all 3 of them) on Wed. to set up a

schedule with me. I'll know then how often they'll be coming to work

with . Do you think is delayed?
